Developer and planning context

Understanding this project

Berwick Bank is SSE’s offshore wind development in the outer Firth of Forth, planned across three phases.

Editorial review: . The dated statements below supplement the July 2026 REPD snapshot; they do not overwrite its fields or certify today’s construction status.

Where is it?

Around 38 km east of the Scottish Borders coastline, according to SSE.

Development position

SSE’s 14 January 2026 announcement reports offshore array consent in July 2025 and a 20-year AR7 CfD for Phase B. At that announcement, a final investment decision for Phase B was expected in 2027; a CfD award is not an operating wind farm.

Capacity and turbines

SSE targets 4.1 GW across the full project. Its Phase B contract covers 1,380 MW, rounded to 1.4 GW in the headline. The snapshot’s 307 turbines are a project record, not an installed count.

Related projects and phases

The Phase B award covers only part of the development. SSE described phases A and C as available for later auctions; do not report the whole 4.1 GW as contracted under this award.
